Its really hard to skip because I know my friend AND our students are depending on us to be there.

Volunteer opportunities abound in every community.

Look for these 3 volunteer opportunities near you.

Animal Rescue Shelters
Local animal shelters almost always need volunteers. ( Including the animal shelter near you).
Even if you are not really a BIG animal lover, you could brush up your office skills
by answering emails, fielding phone calls, and providing general administrative assistance.

National Parks Near You
Volunteering at a national park means more than just cleaning up litter. You can volunteer at fascinating natural or historical sites.

Senior Day Care Centers & Retirement Homes
Senior citizens LOVE exciting lectures on timely topics that interest them. They also LOVE learning new things.
Can you give a talk on an interesting topic?
Perhaps you can teach them something fun and interesting!
If you love to sing, seniors LOVE that too! Music and singing is a great activity for seniors.

Why Do Volunteer Work? Because It Forces You To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Last but not least, volunteering forces you to step out of your comfort zone.

You have to put yourself out there and meet new people, learn new skills and do things you’ve never done before.

At the same time the organization you’re volunteering for will have the tools, resources, training, and support to help you succeed.

It’s a great way to set yourself up for a big win and big boost in confidence.
